Basically this machine is for primarily for Music Production using Ableton 8 and I do enjoy my games especially first person shooters and driving games. The reason I would like the GTX460 768MB version is because I have a Samsung T220 SyncMaster which is only capable of 1600x1050 which is still...
2 x Western Digital 'Caviar Blacks' = 16.8W
Sony DVD/RW= 30W (Bit confused how that is so high compared to Hard Drive)
Gigabyte GA-X58-UD3R = 15W
2 x 200mm Case Fan = 7W
2 x 140mm Case Fan = 4W
V6GT CPU Cooler= 8.5W
i7 930 Processor = 130W
Total of 211.3 Watts
This leaves 438.7...
Maybe my best bet is to add all the wattage of all the devices myself and then see what it works out to. Just out of interest what setup would you go for if you had a budget between £250 and £350?
The thing is I enter it on the PSU calc online and it comes out with a recommended psu min of 627W and thats with crossfired 5870's, surely the nvidias draw more power which will tip it over the 650w threshold
